Useful macros for Gladiator and Sentinel

I figured I'd make a thread where people can post useful macros they've come up with for their Gladiator or Sentinel roles. I'm a THM main, but I'm leveling gladiator to 50 so I can tank more stuff. Here is a sentinel macro i have found to be INCREDIBLY useful for THM and GLA, especially now that they tweaked the macro system a bit to not halt one macro once you use another.

/ac "Guard" <me>
/wait 27
/ac "Guard" <me>
/echo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~[ GUARD 2 ]~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/wait 27
/ac "Guard" <me>
/echo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~[ GUARD 3 ]~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/wait 27
/ac "Guard" <me>
/echo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~[ FINAL GUARD ]~~~~~~~~~~~~~


You will need to tweak the /wait command number to match your shield, and whether or not you are using the +50% shield block trait. Basically, you want to set this time 1 or preferably 2 higher than your shield's wield rate, to assure lag does not interrupt the use of the next block, and say your shield is already raised.

Example:
Vintage Kite Shield has a low wield rate of 12. This means it will not stay up for as long as a round shield or lantern shield, but blocks more damage. If you have the 50% duration trait, it will guard for 18 seconds. The round shields will guard for 19 seconds without the trait, and 29 seconds with the trait. So if you're using a Vintage Kite Shield your /wait command should be 19 or 20. If you're using a round shield, you'd want to set it at 30 or 31.

I use a Bladed Lantern Shield for THM when I'm tanking mobs that deal physical damage. I use a wooden shield for +3 magic accuracy otherwise. The bladed lantern shield will block for 24 seconds total with the trait. I set my /wait commands to 27 just to allow extra time to make sure I never miss a guard with the macro during high-taxing situations or just in case I hit a lag spike.


EDIT: Oh, i forgot to mention... I noticed in-game a lot of people don't know about the /echo command. This displays whatever text follows it as a system message. This part of the macro is to alert the player that their guard is being reused. Just wanted to include this just in case people weren't aware of its uses. You really want to make these echoes something that will stand out to you, ESPECIALLY the final one. This will make it easier on you, so you don't have to watch and hope the shield messages actually pop up.
